A Toddler’s Perspective
Seeing things their way
- the way I see it…
A regular scenario can immediately turn humorous when you bring a child’s perspective into it. Case in point…
Daddy looks Hungry
After dinner the other day Daddy finished eating first and went back to working on his previous project. Rockford, who was still eating must have been surprised that Daddy had finished so quickly.
Rockford: “Daddy did you eat all your food?”
Daddy: “Yes, it was too yummy.”
Rockford: “Mommy can you make Daddy more food?”

On a Sunday drive
We are driving home after church on Sunday and Rockford makes a suggestion from the backseat.
Rockford: “Maybe we can go to the animal park today.”
Me: “I don’t think so, we don’t have passes to go.”
Rockford: “But I think it would be fun. We can go.”
Me: “Actually we have other plans today, so I don’t that will be possible.”
Rockford: “Um, actually, we’ll see.”
Persistance…it’s in the blood.

Lip Service
On Sunday morning Rockford wakes up touches is lip complaining, “Ouch, I have an ouwee.” Then he quickly added, “It’s ok God can heal me.”
The next morning as we are getting ready to eat breakfast he complains about his lip.
Rockford: “I have an ouwee again!”
Me: “Let me see, it’s a cold sore.”
Rockford: “Get it out!”

To drink or not to drink …
The other night Rockford wanted to have milk before bed. We were reluctant to give him some since he had already brushed his teeth and was winding down. In an effort to explain to him why water was a better option than milk, we apparently confused him.
Rockford: “I want apple juice.”
Me: “Milk or apple juice.”
Rockford: “Juice because milk has sugar.”
Me: “Juice has sugar.”
later…
Rockford: “I want milk.”
Me: “You haven’t finished your apple juice.”
Rockford: “You said it had sugar and sugar gives me cavities.”
I had to take a minute to explain a big key factor here…brushing your teeth. Apparently, we forgot to mention this before.

Smells Right
Me: “Are you done going poo?”
Rockford: “No, I’m not, but it smells like it.”
HAPPY FRIDAY ALL!
THANKS FOR STOPPING BY!!!
